p40 "I love it Moral outrage from shorters. lol p40warhawk" Are you assuming the moral high ground again? You think it's funny that someone who may short the market expresses his opinion? Asserting my incorrigible penchant of stating the obvious - we short sellers play the market within the rules, although, I'm pretty certain that you'd like to have the rules abridged to eliminate the shorting, it's not likely that the institutions and hedge funds are in your camp, since they do the bulk of it. And the last time I looked, we short sellers were still human beings with all of the same rights as any Buy and Hold investor and are still entitled to have, and express our feelings. But then, you're also entitled to laugh at someone's opinion or expression of frustration, if that's what you like to do.

p40warhawk: I have always been a bit confused by your profession of "values" that conflict with trading and shorting stocks. 1. I assume that you put money in the stock market in hopes of making money. 2. If you make money, this money does not fall from the sky, it comes from other market players' depleted accounts. 3. Therefore, for you to make money in the market, you must take it from someone else's pocket. Where is the moral high ground in such a game? Phoenix
